Former Boda Boda 2010 coordinator Hajji Abdullah Kitattawill walk out of prison a free man in the next 1 and half years after the General Court Martial trimmed his sentence.
The military court of appeal presided over by Justice Elly Turyamubona reduced the the sentence both for Kitatta and his bodyguard Ngoobi Sowali from 10 years to 3 years
Since the two have been on remand it means they will serve the sentence for one year and six months and thereafter walk away free.
Last year, the two were sentenced to 10 years after they were convicted of charges of unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition
The Appellant Court sitting at Makindye however, ruled today that that this sentence by the General court martial was excessive.
The court martial was faulted for handing out the sentence without evidence of the arresting and investigating officers.
The General Court Martial had ruled that these officers were not among the essential witnesses necessary in the prosecution case.
